Sway
rumspringa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the while she smiled
Runnin' along the beach
The night, we howled
Baby, it's the way the moon's so full, so proud

Never gonna put us out
This day, this day
Look at how the tree's they sway
Ah they sway, ah they sway
Baby, it's the way you move, and dance and play
Never gonna put us out

All the while she smiled
Runnin' along the beach
The night, we howled
Baby, it's the way you move, and dance, and shout
Never gonna put us out of this night, of this night




Flippin' the coins from heads to tales, despite
We're burning up all of our change, it smells languid
